Special Radio Features

Secure Operations

Secure radio operation provides the highest commercially available
level of voice security on both trunked and conventional channels.
Unlike other forms of security, Motorola digital encryption provides
signaling that makes it virtually impossible for others to decode any
part of an encrypted message.
Note: Secure operation is not available in trunked analog modes.

Select Secure Transmissions

Turn the preprogrammed Secure/Clear switch to the secure
position (L).
Note: If the selected channel is programmed for clear-only
operation – when you press the PTT button, you hear
an invalid mode tone.
The radio will not transmit until you set the Secure/
Clear switch to the clear position (T).

Select Clear Transmissions

position (T).
Note: If the selected channel is programmed for secure-only
operation – when you press the PTT button, you hear

Clear switch to the secure position (L).
